New Revision: 308943
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/308943

Log:
  For RTT calculations mid-session, we explicitly ignore ACKs with tsecr of 0 as
  many borken middle-boxes tend to do that. But during 3whs, in 
syncache_expand(),
  we don't do that which causes us to send a RST to such a client. Relax this
  constraint by only using tsecr to compare against timestamp that we sent when 
it
  is not 0. As a result, we'd now accept the final ACK of 3whs with tsecr of 0.
